Nicki x Pepsi - Nicki Minaj's brand continued to expand all the way to Pepsi Co. The "Pills and Potions" singer signed a reported seven-figure promotional deal with Pepsi in 2012. The agreement led Nicki to appear in commercials and Internet advertisements featuring her "Moment 4 Life" track.

Drake x Jordan - The head owl in charge already had his own OVO gear on the market, but as an avid sports enthusiast, Drizzy was just shy of having his own sneaker line.

At his Portland, Ore., concert in December 2013, Drake told fans, "Today I came to Portland, and I officially became inducted into the Team Jordan family." He later posted a sneak peak of his OVO Jordan brand collection on his Instagram.(Photos from left: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET, Drake via Instagram)

Drake x Toronto Raptors - Although not a traditional endorsement deal, Drizzy went for another kind of marketing gig in 2014 as the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, becoming the face of his home team in addition to signing on to develop a clothing line in conjunction with the team's 20th anniversary. Maybe he'll revive that Jordan connect for a complete outfit. All eyes will be on the city for the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend, so the possibilities seem endless for the "0-100" rapper.(Photo: Frank Gunn/AP Photo/the Canadian Press)
